Every parent faces the same problem at some point or another: getting your child to eat their fruits and veggies. We've already covered delicious veggie snacks, but here are 5 fun fruit ideas to make sure your little ones not only get their daily serving in, but also have fun doing it!

1. Grape Worms

You'll need (for 1 worm):

- seedless grapes
- slightly melted white chocolate
- 2 black sugar pearls
- 1 wooden skewer

Here's how:

Push the grapes onto the skewer, one after another. Add two small blobs of white chocolate on the first grape at one end to serve as eyes. Place one black sugar pearl or mini chocolate chip on each chocolate blob, and your wiggly snack is ready to go!

You'll need (for 1 snail):

3. Apple Owl

You'll need:

- 1 apple
- 1 pretzel stick
- 2 marshmallows
- 2 chocolate drops
- 1 tangerine or clementine

Here's how:

1. Divide an apple into three slices. Put one of the outer slices face down on a plate with the apple skin facing upwards.

2. Cut the other outer slice into a rectangle and put it above the big apple slice to serve as the head. Cut two small triangles from the bits you cut off and place them above the rectangle as ears. Take the middle apple slice, cut out the core, and cut it into thin slices. Spread these out on either side to create fanned wings. Place the pretzel stick underneath to look like a tree branch.

3. Make big eyes with the marshmallows and chocolate drops. Finally, add triangle pieces of tangerine to serve as the beak and talons.

4. Blueberry Corn Pops Bumblebee

You'll need:

- ½ yellow plum
- blueberries
- corn pops
- 2 apple slices
- 2 black sugar pearls
- 1 crunchy stick
- 2 honey nut cheerios

Here's how:

1. Place the plum half on a plate and arrange alternating rows of blueberries and corn pops underneath to create the striped body of the bee.

2. Cut the apple slices with a round cookie cutter to create crescent-shaped slices. Place these on either side of the bee's body to create wings. Add the black sugar pearls as eyes and the crunchy stick and honey nut cheerios as the antennae. You can also add a small pointed blueberry piece at the bottom as a stinger. Buzz, buzz, buzz — it's time to eat!

You'll need:

2. Cut the removed piece from Part A in half to create the dog ears. Take the rest of the leftover Part B banana and cut it up to create a tail and feet. Add black sugar pearls
